Aditi Rao Hydari is winning hearts at Cannes 2025 with her unapologetically desi style. The actress made a show-stopping appearance in a vivid red Raw Mango saree, adorned with sindoor and traditional jewelry — embracing the powerful energy of a modern Indian bride on a global stage.
The minimalist yet elegant silk saree featured thin blue borders and golden stripes, while Aditi paired it with a sleeveless blouse in a tube-top style. Her styling was a perfect blend of understated grace and bold femininity, ideal for the French Riviera.
What made the look unforgettable was the vermilion sindoor — both in her hair parting and bindi — a cultural symbol that rarely makes it to international fashion carpets. Her look was completed with a regal kundan choker, matching earrings, and a messy low bun that added a touch of vintage glam.
Her makeup — featuring smoky eyes, mauve lips, and blushed cheeks — brought together Indian bridal elements with Cannes-ready elegance. Aditi’s look is now being hailed as one of the most iconic cultural moments at the festival this year.
With this appearance, Aditi Rao Hydari didn’t just walk the red carpet — she brought India with her.
